Quotes from 'Loose Girl' by Kerry Cohen

"I don't want to be in pain anymore. I want to be done, to be left unburdened and naked, to tear the hurt off my body like layers of clothes."

"There's something deeply wrong with me if I'm so attracted to someone who can't have a relationship, someone who can't love me, who can't even love himself. I've learned at this point there's no shot I can receive, no pill I can take, no therapy I can be a part of that will give me the resolve to do the things I need to do to be loved. It's a choice. A simple choice. I say I want intimacy. I say I want to be loved. But really, I'm petrified. The straight truth is, I don't know if I have it in me, and I'm scared to find out that I can't."

"Need and sex have always been confused for me."

"I'm like that too, aren't I? That little girl inside, clawing her way through life, wanting, always wanting, never ever getting enough to feel filled. It's so ugly. So profoundly sad and ugly. I don't want to be like this anymore."

"We all have the opportunity to find that place where awareness trumps our actions. And I've reached that place. I can't go back."

"Maybe, I think, I don't have to be great at this; maybe I just have to be good enough."
